• Posting on Instagram on Oct. 7, she asked followers to stop sending AI-generated clips that recreate her late father.
• She called the videos dumb, a waste of time and energy, not what he would have wanted, and said they are disgusting and not art.
• Williams said such clips reduce real legacies to vague imitations churned out for low-quality social media content she described as TikTok slop.
• She noted she regularly receives these unsolicited videos and has opposed AI recreations of deceased actors since the 2023 Hollywood strikes.
• Coverage situates her plea in a broader trend of consumer AI tools enabling lifelike deepfakes, with no new platform policy changes reported.
